Schneider Modicon 140XTS00206 CableFast System Cable

Schneider Electric 140XTS00206 Modicon Quantum CableFast System Cable — 1.8M, Terminated, Standard Power

The 140XTS00206 is a CableFast system cable for Schneider Electric's Modicon Quantum automation platform. It provides a pre-wired 1.8-meter connection between Quantum I/O modules and field devices, featuring terminated ends with Quantum I/O terminals for quick, error-free installation. The cable is designed for standard power applications and eliminates the need for individual wire termination, significantly reducing wiring time and installation errors in industrial control cabinets.

Installation Guide

1. Install the Quantum I/O module into the backplane slot.
2. Attach the 140 XTS 001 00 or 140 XTS 002 00 screw terminal block (40 contacts, ordered separately) to the front of the I/O module.
3. Insert mechanical keying pins between the I/O module and terminal block to ensure correct connector/module combination.
4. Connect one end of the 140XTS00206 1.8m CableFast cable to the terminal block.
5. Route the cable through the cable duct or tray with proper strain relief.
6. Connect the other end to the field device terminal block or control cabinet terminal strip.
7. Verify all connections and power on the system.
8. Check I/O module LED indicators for proper communication and channel status.

FAQ

Q: Is 140XTS00206 a power module or CPU?
A: No. Some third-party sources incorrectly describe 140XTS00206 as a power module, CPU, or inverter. The 140XTS00206 is a CableFast system cable — a pre-wired connection cable for Quantum I/O modules.

Q: What is the difference between 140XTS00206 and 140XTS00203?
A: 140XTS00203 is 0.9 m long. 140XTS00206 is 1.8 m long. Both are CableFast cables with Quantum I/O terminals.

Q: What is the difference between 140XTS00206 and 140XTS01206?
A: Both are 1.8 m CableFast cables. The 140XTS0x206 series uses different internal wire configurations or connector types for specific I/O module families. Verify compatibility with your specific I/O module model.

Q: Do I need to order terminal blocks separately?
A: Yes. The 140 XTS 001 00 or 140 XTS 002 00 screw terminal block (40 contacts) must be ordered separately. The CableFast cable connects to this terminal block.

Q: Is 140XTS00206 compatible with intrinsically safe I/O modules?
A: No. CableFast cables and standard terminal blocks are not compatible with intrinsically safe I/O modules. Use dedicated intrinsically safe wiring solutions for those modules.

Q: Can I use 140XTS00206 with M340 or M580?
A: No. 140XTS00206 is designed for Modicon Quantum I/O modules. M340/M580 use different wiring systems (BMXFTW/BMXFCW cables).

Selection Tips

• Quantum I/O, 0.9 m CableFast: 140XTS00203
• Quantum I/O, 1.8 m CableFast: 140XTS00206 (this product)
• Quantum I/O, 2.7 m CableFast: 140XTS00209
• Quantum I/O, 3.6 m CableFast: 140XTS00212
• Always verify: I/O module model, required cable length, and terminal block compatibility (140 XTS 001 00 / 140 XTS 002 00)
• Order terminal blocks separately: 40-contact screw terminal blocks are not included with the cable
• Use keying pins: Ensure correct module/connector combination and prevent wiring errors
